Last post (on OregonLive)

The Oregonian/OregonLive (same company) and I have parted ways.Their view of a neighborhood, or community, blog is clearly different from mine. For most of the 5 or so years I have been posting – it was my blog. It was my content that was not about pets, parks, vacations or the like. I wrote critically about Portland, primarily Old Town.

I enjoyed the journalistic freedom that existed for most of those years to post my opinions on issues, events and news media articles. I was not paid by the Oregonian or Oregonlive nor did any compensation come by the way of the advertising seen adjacent to the posts. My posts were not free form opinions but were based on research that often changed my mind about the subject matter. Links were liberally sprinkled throughout the posts.

While I will not be posting on OregonLive, I can still be found posting as An Old Town Perspective on Portland. Bookmark my new location where I am continuing my posts on Old Town and the city, especially Portland Development Commission.

Many thanks to those who have read my blog and especially to those who took the time to comment. Thanks also to OregonLive for the space here.
